came across this post which summarizes a theoretical inquiry into whether #ADHD can be conceptualized as irregularity in energy, not attention: https://www.sluggish.xyz/p/could-adhd-actually-be-an-energy
it was interesting to read this framing because it spells out what i intuit is a kind of cruel optimism of trying to "boost" energy through stimulation instead of doing restful, low-stimulation things
not to say that rest is always the only correct answer

somebody should do /dev/sine and /dev/sawtooth to complement /dev/urandom for audio testing

wrt the ai math stuff, I really wonder if we're going to see folks on the "human math" side trying to not share anything publically until they've proved something (or reach somekind of milestone anyalogous to proof)
If releasing a paper just means some model company can yoink it and do the last few steps to reach some proof, then you're going to be tempted to keep everything as secret as possible
Really feels like a regression - Xenotimexeno@snug.moe23h agoretooted vivi

It’s called an assay because you’re supposed to pull it out of your ass
I think this is the best quote of mine at uni - Xenotimexeno@snug.moe10/17/2026retooted Xenotime
its always a funny feeling when you find out that an idea you came up with is already a thing
it's a little bit like aww man but also definitely validating because you came up with an idea that was good enough for other people to do stuff with it - Xenotimexeno@snug.moe10/17/2026retooted Xenotime

Neon sign style with the electrodes on opposite sides... which pushed the operating voltage above what my DC power supply can do. The photo shows it running on AC (hence the glow in the evacuation stem) - Xenotimexeno@snug.moe10/17/2026retooted nothackingHomemade glow lamp: it's borosilicate glass melted with a oxy-propane torch. The outer diameter is 11mm.
The vacuum from my rotary vane pump isn't perfect, and there's a lot of residual air left over (that's what's glowing), but it should still be good enough for a triode or small CRT.
... although I haven't figured out a good way to do glass-to-metal seals yet. This one has copper plated steel wire (CTE=~10 um/[m*K]) passing through borosilicate glass (CTE=~3 um/[m*K]), which aren't close enough to stop thermal expansion from breaking the bond: The tube only worked for a few hours.
Might have to buy some tungsten wire (CTE=~4 um/[m*K]) or figure out a graded seal: soda lime glass bonds to the wire quite well, but it's is very annoying to work with. - Xenotimexeno@snug.moe10/17/2026
